"What?!" Ding Yinglan staggered.

How could it be poisoning?

Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Ruoli were also very surprised that it was poisoning.

"Doctor, she is so young and can only drink breast milk every day, how could she be poisoned?" Ding Yinglan's voice trembled.

Doctor Liu looked at Ding Yinglan.

"Since the child was already like this when he was born, the toxin must have been absorbed from the mother. May I ask if the madam took any medicine during her pregnancy?"

Ding Yinglan shook his head.

She was in good health and took great care during her pregnancy, not taking any medication.

Just as he was about to deny it, Ding Yinglan suddenly remembered something.

"When I was six months pregnant, I suddenly had a pain in my waist when I got up one day. My husband gave me a box of pain-relieving pills, saying that they were made of Chinese medicine and could relieve pain and were harmless to pregnant women."

"My husband has a chronic headache problem, and he has been taking these painkillers to relieve it. After taking them for a few days, I no longer feel pain in my waist. It is very effective."

Doctor Liu nodded.

In the later stages of a woman's pregnancy, her big belly compresses the nerves, causing her to suffer from back pain.

"Do you have any more painkillers?" asked Doctor Liu.

"Yes." Ding Yinglan put the child down, took out a small box from the low cabinet beside her and handed it to Doctor Liu.

Doctor Liu opened the box and saw a few light pink pills inside.

The smell is light, and after sniffing it carefully, it is indeed a few nerve-paralyzing drugs.

Although pregnant women should not eat too much, it will not cause such big problems to the baby.

Doctor Liu took out a pill, crushed it in his palm, and bent down to smell it.

In an instant, Doctor Liu's expression changed suddenly!

"How can there be a flat fall?!"

Flat fall?

"Doctor Liu, what is this?" asked Mrs. Jiang.

Doctor Liu looked solemn and began to explain.

"Pingluo is a poison from Beixin, made from several local poisons. This poison is relatively weak, but if taken for a long time, it will accumulate in the body."

"If you get too emotional, the poison will take effect, you'll vomit black blood, your body will fester, and you'll die suddenly in a few days!"

"Mrs. Wang took a small dose, so nothing would have happened. She would have metabolized the toxins after a while."

"But she happened to be pregnant, and the toxins in her body were absorbed by the baby, which could not metabolize them. That's why her body turned blue and she couldn't be cured after a long time of treatment."

Ding Yinglan couldn't believe what Doctor Liu said.

She fell to her knees and begged, crying, "Doctor, please save my daughter! Please!"

Mrs. Jiang felt very sorry and asked, "Doctor Liu, is there any way to detoxify the child?"

Doctor Liu thought for a moment and said, "Fortunately, Madam Wang didn't take many painkillers, so the poison in the child can be cured."

Ding Yinglan was excited to hear that her daughter could be saved.

"Thank you, doctor! Thank you, Mrs. Jiang, for your kindness!"

Looking at Mrs. Jiang, Ding Yinglan kowtowed heavily.

Mrs. Jiang hurried forward and helped the man up.

"Madam Wang, there is no need to do this. As long as the child can be cured, that's all."

"There's just one thing I don't understand. Where did this painkiller come from?"

Thinking of the origin of this painkiller pill, Ding Yinglan's expression changed slightly.

"Madam Wang, you just said that Lord Wang also often takes this pill. May I ask where he is? If it is convenient, I can also take his pulse for him." Doctor Liu said.

"My husband is in the Hanlin Academy and hasn't finished his duty yet." Ding Yinglan bit her lip.

When Mrs. Jiang saw this, a look of worry appeared on her face.

"Madam Wang, to be honest, I came here today not only to diagnose your daughter's illness, but also to ask for a favor." Madam Jiang said solemnly.

"Mrs. Jiang, please stop saying that. You have already helped our Wang family a lot. Just tell me if you have anything to say." Ding Yinglan said hurriedly.

Madam Jiang said in a deep voice: "Before we came, we received news that there was a leak of the exam questions this year, and some students have been exposed. Lord Wang is an official of the Imperial Academy, and he must have been held back by this incident if he did not return home today."

"Excuse me, Madam Wang, have you noticed that Lord Wang has been acting strangely recently, or has he hidden something?"

Since Li'er said the list is at Wang's house, it must be somewhere else.

She would turn the Wang family upside down today to find the list!

Nothing can happen to her inkstone!

Hearing Mrs. Jiang's question, Ding Yinglan was very flustered, and the image of her husband writing furiously in the study flashed through her mind.

There were papers that looked like test papers on the table, and she took a sneak peek at them when she brought him food.

But she couldn't tell these things, because if she did, her husband would be finished.

Just as he was about to speak, the servant beside Wang Zhou hurried into the room.

"Ma'am, it's not good!"

"Your Excellency has been taken in for questioning by the Emperor because he is suspected of stealing the examination questions!"

"What?!" Ding Yinglan's body shook.

Mrs. Jiang looked at Ding Yinglan steadily.

"Madam Wang, leaking the exam questions is a serious crime punishable by execution of the entire family!"

"If there is evidence to prove that Lord Wang was coerced, perhaps we can make amends."

"At this point, only you can save Lord Wang!"

Ding Yinglan was panicked.

She didn't expect her husband would do such a thing to destroy the whole family.

Their daughter had just been born. How could he disregard the lives of the entire family?

How can...

Ding Yinglan felt unbearable pain in her heart and pursed her lips tightly.

After a while, she looked at Mrs. Jiang.

"This painkiller pill was given by the Third Prince."

"It was also the Third Prince who told my husband that pregnant women can eat it."

Madam Jiang and Jiang Ruoli looked at each other.

It was just as they expected.

"Mrs. Jiang, wait a moment. I'm going to get something."

Ding Yinglan turned and walked towards the study.

Soon, she came out with a letter.

"My husband gave this to me when he went out this morning and asked me to keep it safe. He said that if he couldn't come back tonight, I should give this letter to the third prince, and he would save us mother and daughter after seeing it." Ding Yinglan said in a sad voice.

"Mrs. Wang, can I open it and take a look?" Jiang Ruoli asked.

"Miss Jiang, please take a look."

At this point, she also knew that her husband had entrusted her to the wrong person, and the Third Prince actually wanted to kill their family...

Jiang Ruoli opened the envelope and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the contents inside.

It's the list, the real list.

"If it's something you want, just take it."

Ding Yinglan felt hopeless at this moment.

Jiang Ruoli folded the letter paper, took Ding Yinglan's hand and put the envelope in her hand.

"No, we're not going."

"Li'er?" Mrs. Jiang was surprised.

The evidence is already in hand, why not go?

Jiang Ruoli looked at Ding Yinglan steadily.

"Madam Wang, only you can go for this matter."

"Me?" Ding Yinglan looked at Jiang Ruoli in surprise.

"Yes. Lord Wang is suspected of being involved in the exam leak. He must have known that he was in danger, so he left this evidence. You should send this evidence to the government office to prove that Lord Wang was instructed by someone. Only in this way can he have a chance to make amends!"

"I..." Ding Yinglan hesitated.

"Madam Wang, if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the child! Your daughter was born not long ago, and Doctor Liu just gave her a glimmer of hope. Can you bear to see such a young child lose her life?"

Wang Zhou deserves the punishment for his evil deeds, but the child is innocent.

"I...will the emperor pardon us?" Ding Yinglan looked at Jiang Ruoli in a daze.

"Madam Wang, only if you fight hard can you have a chance of survival!" Jiang Ruoli held Ding Yinglan's hand tightly to give her strength.

Ding Yinglan's eyes gradually became determined.

"Okay! I'll go!"

Jiang Ruoli and Madam Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.

Madam Jiang ordered: "Fuping, you follow Madam Wang secretly and make sure she is safe!"

"Yes!" Fuping responded.

Ding Yinglan put away the envelope and rushed to the government office in the night...
